Never destined to win a beauty pageant,
the Choctaw’s good looks were always in the eyes of the
beholder. And in the Sikorsky UH-34, the Marines found their
girl. Affectionately called the “Huss,” the Choctaw
went ashore as part of the first Marine aircraft unit in the
Republic of Vietnam in 1962 and served in country until April1969.
Here a pair of UH-34’s ply the skies over South Vietnam
on an assault support mission ferrying troops and supplies. |
